Lei Liu
Designer II

Lei grew up in China and found her passion in shaping public spaces early on, in commercial design for the past three years before joining Hoerr Schaudt. Lei thrives in the creative process, especially when brainstorming fresh ideas with her team, and loves seeing people (and even a few curious squirrels) enjoying the landscapes she’s helped bring to life. For Lei, it’s all about turning big design dreams into real places that everyone can experience and enjoy.

She first visited Chicago during a school fall break and instantly fell in love with the city’s energy and charm — something she now feels incredibly lucky to be part of every day. When she’s not at work, you can catch her enjoying the outdoors, hanging with friends, and having the occasional piña colada.
